Lidia Levi, sister of Romano, the “angelic grappa maker,” knew the rich herbs of the Langhe well; she cultivated them with care and knew how to unite them in harmonious and fragrant combinations which she skillfully enriched with the bitterness of Chinotto from Savona and the intense scent of oranges from Bergeggi, which a friar friend never failed to provide her.
Lidia created “artistic” compositions that her brother’s grappa would host in its bottles, enhancing the intense aromas of the territory.
It is an ancient recipe of Lidia’s that returns today to inspire the Amaro della Donna Selvatica with the scents, among others, of Gentian, Elderflower, Sage, and Hops.
Scents that come together and are found bound in the light, yet present, touch of Romano’s grappa, which alone embraces this amaro, enhancing its skillful, pleasant harmony.
